Problems solved by technology

However, the increase in voids reduces, for example, the adhesion between particles and between particles and the substrate, which may cause the particles to detach from the substrate.
[0006] In the case where the refractive index is reduced by using a material with a lower refractive index such as magnesium fluoride as a shell component of hollow particles having a cavity inside, the hollow particles must be made of a material with a low refractive index such as magnesium fluoride. particles, but known techniques such as those described in NPL1 have the problem of difficulty in synthesizing magnesium fluoride at the interface of water and oil

preparation example Construction

[0026] The preparation method of hollow magnesium fluoride particles according to the present invention comprises: mixing a hydrophobic solvent, a hydrophilic solvent and a surfactant to prepare droplets of the hydrophilic solvent dispersed in the hydrophobic solvent by forming micelles a solution of the hydrophobic solvent or a solution in which droplets of the hydrophobic solvent are dispersed in the hydrophilic solvent; and a step of synthesizing magnesium fluoride by adding a fluorine compound and a magnesium compound to the solution of the dispersed droplets.

[0027] Figure 2A with 2B Both are schematic diagrams showing the interface of the liquid droplets in the solution obtained in the step of preparing the liquid-droplet-dispersed solution. Figure 2A represents an example of a droplet of a hydrophobic solvent 22 formed in a hydrophilic solvent 23 using surfactant molecules 21 whose hydrophobic groups are oriented toward the hydrophobic solvent 22 and whose hydrophi...

Embodiment 1

[0046] An oil-in-water micellar solution dispersing 47 nm water particles (droplets) was prepared by stirring 100 g of isooctane, 10 g of AOT, and 30 g of water for 1 hour.

[0047] To the resulting solution, 10 g of a 5 wt % solution of TBAT in phenylmethyl ether was added to dissolve TBAT in the oil layer, and then mixed with 20 g of 1 wt % magnesium ethoxide in phenyl methyl ether while stirring at 60 °C. The solution in ether was mixed for 1 hour to synthesize magnesium fluoride.

[0048] To the solution containing the synthesized magnesium fluoride, 40 mL of ethanol was added to separate the hydrophilic solvent from the hydrophobic solvent. The hydrophilic solvent was dried, and then observed with a scanning transmission electron microscope (manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corp., HD-2700) to confirm hollow particles having a particle diameter of 500 nm.

Embodiment 2

[0050] A solution of water-in-oil micelles was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1.

[0051] To the resulting solution, 10 g of a 5 wt % solution of TBAT in phenylmethyl ether and 5 g of AOT were added to dissolve TBAT in the oil layer, and then mixed with 20 g of 1 wt % magnesium ethoxide in The solution in phenylmethyl ether and 5 g of AOT were mixed for 1 hour to synthesize magnesium fluoride.

[0052] To the solution containing the synthesized magnesium fluoride, 40 mL of ethanol was added to separate the hydrophilic solvent from the hydrophobic solvent. The hydrophilic solvent was dried, and then observed with a scanning transmission electron microscope to confirm hollow particles having a particle diameter of 200 nm. The diameter of the cavity is 60% of the particle diameter, so the void content is 22%.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method of producing hollow magnesium fluoride particles by performing polymerization at the interface of micelle constituted of a hydrophobic solvent, a hydrophilic solvent, and a surfactant. The invention further provides an antireflection coating having a low refractive index due to the coating by the hollow magnesium fluoride particles and also provides an optical device coated with the antireflection coating and an imaging optical system having the optical device. In the method, micelle is formed from a hydrophobic solvent, a hydrophilic solvent, and a surfactant, and then a fluorine compound and a magnesium compound are dissolved in the micelle solution to polymerize magnesium fluoride at the interface of the micelle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing hollow magnesium fluoride particles, that is, magnesium fluoride particles containing air inside. The present invention also relates to an antireflection coating obtained by coating a dispersion prepared by mixing the particles with a solvent and an optical device obtained by forming the dispersion on a substrate. Background technique [0002] It is known that in order to suppress the reflection on the light incident / emission surface of an optical device, the desired effect is obtained by laminating antireflection coatings of single-layer or multi-layer optical films having different refractive indices in a thickness of tens to hundreds of nanometers. optical properties. Such an antireflection coating is formed by a vacuum deposition method such as vapor deposition or sputtering or a wet film-forming method such as dip coating or spin coating. [0003] As a material for the outermost layer of the antire...
